Ling Xiao used his eyes to ask Golden Light Celestial Worthy whether he should go easy on Leng Hao or not.
However, the Golden Light Celestial Worthy’s voice transmission said——
“Help this lordship wake up that fellow. This kid has become a little too arrogant now. Kill his arrogance.”
“Okay.”
Ling Xiao made a wry smile. This Golden Light Celestial Worthy… you are not teaching your disciple by yourself, but asking me to help you, alas.
The spectators were looking forward to this match. After all, Leng Hao was considered to be one of the two geniuses like Meng Tian. Although his cultivation base was slightly inferior, that was just because of his poor foundation.
In terms of cultivation speed, not only he didn’t lose to Ming Tian, but he was also even faster.
Whether Ling Xiao was truly skilled or not, it would be seen clearly in this match.
However, to their disappointment, the battle ended much faster than they had imagined.
In their opinion, even if Leng Hao loses to Ling Xiao, he could at least survive a hundred moves.
But Ling Xiao defeated Leng Hao with just one move!
Well, he used one style!
Now Lotus Sword Art – Flying Snow!
It was Ling Xiao’s most commonly used sword move.
As for the sword he used, it was still Ice Dragon Sword.
He didn’t use any special moves.
This greatly disappointed Supreme Headmaster.
However, with just such a move, Leng Hao’s body protection true essence was directly broken, then a bloody hole appeared on his shoulder, moreover, he was sent flying.
Leng Hao, who was lying on the ground, couldn’t believe the result.
Ling Xiao hadn’t used any move, but he was actually defeated!
Elder Jin and Supreme Headmaster looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
Golden Light Celestial Worthy and Yang Danlin were overjoyed.
As for Golden Light Celestial Worthy, he directly appeared beside Leng Hao, and whispered something in Leng Hao’s ears. No one knew what he said.
Then, Leng Hao’s originally low fighting spirit exploded again.
“Ling Xiao, from now on, Ming Tian is no longer the target of my pursuit, you will become my new target of pursuit!”
After speaking, Leng Hao returned with Golden Light Celestial Worthy, sat down crossed-legged, and started to heal himself.
Ling Xiao wasn’t heavy-handed, so his injury wasn’t truly severe.
After this round of battles, some more people were eliminated, but there were still fifty people left.
The total number of people who could participate in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony this time was just fifty. But because there were ten seeded participants, the final number of spots was forty.
Therefore, another ten people should be eliminated.
It could be estimated that it would be over after another round of battles.
Ling Xiao took a deep breath.
He was feeling bad. The Supreme Headmaster was looking at him as if he was a test subject. Didn’t this mean that his next opponent would be Bai Feifei?
He shook his head. Fight then fight, who is afraid of who? As long as you are not afraid of embarrassment!
Ling Xiao sneered, but he was actually looking forward to it.
As it now seemed that among the top contestants, it seemed that most had backers behind them.
Bai Feifei represented Supreme Headmaster.
Ming Tian represented Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy.
Behind Wu Yang and Qin Wu represented Elder Jin.
Leng Hao represented Golden Light Celestial Worthy.
As for Ling Xiao, he represented the entire outer court, and he naturally received the support of Outer Hall Elder Stainless Celestial Worthy.
Naturally, he also had the support of Yang Danlin, and Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy, but this was another story.
Since the competition had already come to this point, regardless of the fact that the higher-ups were not participating in this battle, they were actually competing in their hearts. They all hoped that their disciples would be the winner in their hearts.
“Junior Brother Ling, as long as you don’t run into my Senior Sister Bai Feifei, or Wu Yang or Qin Wu, it shouldn’t be a big problem, right?”
Although Lan Yu’er was a disciple of Supreme Headmaster, she obviously cared too much about Ling Xiao.
“That’s true.”
Ling Xiao smiled. Lan Yu’er was right. Although he would be able to defeat Wu Yang and Qin Wu, he might have to use some extraordinary means.
And if he wanted to defeat Bai Feifei, it would be more troublesome.
“Unfortunately, Senior Sister, my next opponent is your Senior Sister Bai Feifei!”
Ling Xiao shrugged helplessly and showed Lan Yu’er the number he had drawn.
“How!”
Lan Yu’er smiled bitterly and said: “Junior Brother Ling, you are too unlucky. Sigh, forget it, you haven’t lost a match yet, just admit defeat, you are not her opponent.”
“I want to admit defeat, but I’m afraid she won’t give me that chance.”
Ling Xiao said with a wry smile: “Your Senior Sister is so strong. If she truly wants to force me to fight, I have no choice but to fight her.”
“Then, what should we do?”
Lan Yu’er asked worriedly.
“Forget it, there will always be a way.”
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
The rounds started again.
Zhao Zhi’s last battle was very difficult. In the end, relying on the defensive excellent-grade treasured artifact Ling Xiao had given him, he created a chance and defeated the opponent, winning the match narrowly!
He might have also guessed that this would be the last round, so he went all out.
Dai Yuling was unlucky. She met Wu Yang, and with Ling Xiao’s reminder, she directly conceded.
So far, she had just lost two matches, so she wouldn’t be eliminated.
Shangguan Let still had an evenly-matched opponent, but with the defensive treasured artifact in his hand, he won in the end.
As for Leng Hao, although he was defeated by Ling Xiao, he would this round cleanly, defeating an opponent who was stronger than him. It was obvious that this fellow had a breakthrough in his cultivation!
Qin Wu’s opponent surrendered, and he won easily.
Ming Tian’s opponent didn’t admit defeat, but he was defeated by Ming Tian in one move. The opponent was powerless to fight back.
“Ming Tian! Ming Tian!”
So far, Ming Tian still had a 100% victory record. Although this was related to the fact that he didn’t encounter Bai Feifei, Wu Yang and Qin Wu, it was still very dazzling.
Therefore, he had many fans among the spectators.
However, Ming Tian didn’t seem to be satisfied.
His eyes were fixed on Ling Xiao, and his fighting spirit pierced through the sky, which startled many people.
Everyone then looked at Ling Xiao.
They thought that Ling Xiao would at least show respect or pay equal attention to Ming Tian.
But they were wrong.
At this moment, Ling Xiao’s eyes were closed and didn’t respond to Ming Tian at all.
Just because in his eyes, someone like Ming Tian, who betrayed his master, was not worthy of being his opponent at all.
Not to mention Ming Tian was inferior to him now, even if Ming Tian was better than him, he wouldn’t have bothered to pay attention.
“What’s his attitude, does he even look down on Ming Tian?”
“Yes, he is good. He defeated Leng Hao, but did he think that Leng Hao is better than Ming Tian?”
“A bunch of idiots! Your eyes are even inferior to the frog at the bottom of the well.”
Leng Hao snorted disdainfully: “Ling Xiao’s strength is not something you can estimate. If you don’t believe me, who dares to bet me?”
“What’s the bet?”
“Bet on the match between Ling Xiao and Senior Sister Bai! I bet on Ling Xiao’s victory!”
Leng Hao simply shocked people.
Even Golden Light Celestial Worthy felt that his disciple was lunatic.
Ling Xiao had a wry smile on his face. Brother, I’m just thinking about it, but you are already driving a duck onto a perch.
